Tesla was a genius who was far ahead of his time, and is responsible for pioneering our electrical power grid. If Edison's idiotic ideas were implemented, there would be a huge power plant on every corner.
That much is true, but it does not make the claims about his later works any less cranky.
If Tesla were allowed to continue his research unharrased we would have no ugly power lines and energy would have been clean and cheap a long time ago.
No. If his work continued we'd have an
extremely wasteful transmission method, and the woowoo hypochondriacs would be crying about how the electricity transmissions in the air were killing them. Electricity generation and pollution were not Tesla's concern so it would not have been 'clean' nor 'cheap'.
What Berdon was talking about has nothing to do with "perputual motion machines", he is not a crank by any means.
Yes he is. He makes unsupported claims about fantasy weapons that never existed and if they had would have turned the balance of world power on its side. He's nuts, pure and simple.
Reich was a genius on many levels, far surpassing both Freud and Einstein in their respective fields.
No, he was a crank. He invented a magic energy for which there is zero evidence and started practicing medicine with it. That is a crank by any means.
He was systematically destroyed by the FDA and US courts and his books and laboratory works were confiscated and actually BURNED in the USA.
You forgot to mention that the reason the books were BURNED was because he wouldn't stop selling them as medical texts even after ordered to cease doing so!
What was done to Reich is one of the most despicable chapters in US history.
Not really. Reich was a crank who thought he could be above the law.
Surpression of energy technology is a well documented FACT.
For lesser definitions of 'documented FACT' only.
The good news is that soon all three of these men will be proven to be right and the existing laws of conservation of energy and thermodynamics will be exposed for the flat earth hoaxes that they are.
Any day now.....any day now....any day now....any day now.
I wonder why every highschool student knows about Edison, Freud, and Einstein but not Tesla, and Reich?
I learned about Tesla because he actually had some accomplishments. They glossed over much of his eccentricities, however.
I didn't learn about Reich because he was a fraud and a kook. We had a limited time in high school and didn't want to waste it on scammers and fakes like Reich.
Maybe even YOU could figure that out after you have read some of their works.
I already have. Beardon and Reich were utter nutcases.
